The image shows a woman from the waist up, gazing forward. She has delicate facial features with a long nose and full lips. Her hair falls in loose curls, partially covered by a transparent veil. She wears an intricate gown with puffed sleeves, lace details, and a corseted bodice embellished with floral ribbons. She holds a folding fan in her left hand. On the table in front of her are gloves and melons. The background displays luxurious drapery and distant landscapes.
